ETA:  Just tested in IE and it works!  What would cause FireFox to null the download?

It is working on FireFox. Install Foxit Reader and you will see.

OK, I got it working now!  I had reader installed but it must have been an old version.  I updated and BOOM!  Works now!

Any suggestions on adding a side column with links to the 3 separate categories?  I'm not quite sure what to do beyond creating the side bar!  LOL

If you mean the side column in your download section, you need to put this kinds of URL (based on the original example):

HTML Code

<a href="{$forumurl_q}filtertf_fcat=Plugin">Plugin</a> <a href="{$forumurl_q}filtertf_fcat=Modification">Modification</a> <a href="{$forumurl_q}filtertf_fcat=Theme">Theme</a>

Yes.  I wonder what they will lead to though?  Will I need to create a new threadlist template?  Might have to do  little experimenting...

It will acts like category in other XThreads example application (for example, your article gallery).

I think i found a bug with the new XThreads upgrade...after upgrade, my download system quit working...

http://www.7173mustangs.com/thread-marti...http://www.7173mustangs.com/thread-marti-report?B1=Click+Here+to+

Guests can't download, but the error I get when trying to download is:

Quote:No parameters specified.

  (White screen, no template)

What could be wrong?

Your images appear to be working, eg http://www.7173mustangs.com/xthreads_att...http://www.7173mustangs.com/xthreads_attach.php?file=333_1296583039_bdb04342/2bcb56995efabb602530cbef548c2325/ScannedIma

Can you post the HTML surrounding the Download Now button?

[RocketFoot]

Yes, images work, but the download button does not...here is the code from display format:

Code:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

<form action="{URL}" target="_blank" method="get"> <p> <input type="submit" name="B1" " id="B1"value="Click Here to View My Marti Report" /> </p> </form>

It was working previously.

Your HTML is a bit messed up, should be:

HTML Code

<input type="submit" name="B1" id="B1" value="Click Here to View My Marti Report" />

---

But anyway, I think I've found the issue.
You can fix it by changing the form's method from "get" to "post".  But there's also a bug in XThreads which caused this to break - I'll release a fix for it.
I've updated the first post, as a "post" method is probably more appropriate than "get".

Thanks for pointing that out.

Thanks Zinga!  Changing get to post seems to have done the trick for now!
